Feasibility Studies

XXX

We analyzed the potential location for a new oil refining unit and determined the associated investment order, considering the process units, tank farm, and necessary service expansion.

AFA

We prepared a feasibility analysis and investment order for implementing sunflower seed processing, considering reception, pre-cleaning, conditioning, storage, pretreatment, pressing, gum separation, solvent extraction, degumming, lecithin drying, and all associated services.

CALSA

We evaluated the possibility of implementing energy integration to preheat boiler feedwater, using energy available in the semi-continuous deodorization unit at the Lanús Plant in Buenos Aires.

LDC

We studied the possibility of implementing a third reaction stage in Line #2 for 900 TPD of biodiesel, reusing existing equipment.

Personnel Evaluation

GRANOS

An evaluation is conducted for all personnel associated with both crushing lines in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.

Engineering

LDC

We carried out the basic and detailed engineering for the incorporation of an economizer with the gases from the vegetable stripper to preheat the miscella in the 2.100 TPD solvent extraction of rapeseed in Wittenberg, Germany.

Process Assistance

BUYATTI

Process adjustments are being made for proper dewaxing at the Reconquista Refinery.

COFCO

We are providing technical assistance to processes at the biodiesel unit at the Timbúes Industrial Complex.

GBE

We are conducting a laboratory-scale evaluation of a protocol for improvements in the transformation of esterified oil into biodiesel, and its transfer to an industrial scale, with the goal of minimizing reagent consumption and improving product quality without resorting to distillation.

In addition, alternatives are being evaluated for reducing the water and carbon footprint at the remaining units of the Aprilia Industrial Complex, Italy.

Commissioning

RIS

We have successfully completed the start up of the Neutralization and Bleaching units for animal oils and fats, with the option of dewaxing, for 150 TPD. This is part of the expansions to the Villa Rosa Industrial Complex.

The engineering for both projects was executed in a timely manner, 100% by APROXAR.
